Vice Chancellor’s message

Message from the Honourable Vice Chancellor (Dr. V. Sudesh)

In the continuing task of nation building, Bangalore University is trying to promote excellence in higher education for a vibrant and inclusive society through knowledge creation and dissemination. It is making sincere efforts to contribute its mite by providing the right kind of human resources. It is striving hard to impart quality education to meet national and global challenges, towards accomplishing its mission. For students, the degree represents certification of competence, and a passport to advanced education or gainful employment, and livelihood and prosperity. They have an important role to play in the development of the Nation and hence have to handle their future with confidence and capability.

Bangalore University took birth in the year 1964 with only 32 colleges and a student population of 16,000. Today, it is one of the largest Universities in the country and in Asia with about 700 affiliated colleges and a student population of about 4.00 Lakhs. It has about 50 post-graduate departments which offer around 75 PG Programmes.

The University is pursuing a holistic approach as we believe that an education bereft of values is meaningless and not worthy of promotion. Education is meant to inculcate right values among students to produce socially sensitive citizens. Thus it encourages not only curricular activities, but also co-curricular, extra-curricular and extension activities. The students of Bangalore University Colleges have excelled not only in studies but also in Sports. I can say with legitimate pride that the University has achieved far more than just the modest target set at the time of its inception by producing a trained human resource to serve the country in all walks of life and by contributing to the knowledge base.

BU has about 50 post-graduate departments which offer around 75 PG Programmes. Post-graduate departments have organized a large number of national and international Seminars and Conferences. The University has been chosen for the Promotion of University Research and Scientific Excellence (PURSE) project of DST, the Govt. of India at a cost of 9.0 Crores for 3 years. In addition to these, several thrust areas of our faculty in the PG departments are selected for assistance under CPEPA, Centre with Potential for Excellence in particular areas, with a grant of ` 4.75 Crores. We also have several innovative Programmes.

Our highly qualified and motivated faculty, who work with commitment and dedication for the cause of education and research. Our officers and the non-teaching staff work with dedication and commitment. The research output of our post-graduate departments is very good in terms of Ph.D. degrees awarded and research publications in good impact factor journals in India and abroad with a large number of citations. In the recent 49th convocation 204 candidates have received the Ph. D. degrees. The University Grants Commission has also sanctioned Rs. 21.25 Crores to the University as the 12th Plan grant. The UVCE, the University Engineering College of the university has received the second phase of TEQIP grant of Rs. 12.5 Crores for improving the academic and research infrastructure. Academic tie-ups have been established with several reputed research Institutions/organizations within India and abroad. Our faculty have received number of recognitions and awards such as UGC Research Awards for 6 Teachers, Indo-US (Obama) Fellowship two teachers, Young Scientist Awards, 4 Patents etc. Some of our faculties are the fellows of National Academies.

It is gratifying to note that Bangalore University is ranked No. 15 among the top 50 Universities in India as per Hansa Research Survey 2014 (published in The Week June 2014). The same survey ranks the University at 5 of the Top 10 Government Universities in South Zone.

THEY SAY

Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.

Norman McLaren

Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist.

John Lasseter

Well, directing is doing the key drawings, not the key animation, mind you.

Chuck Jones

Laughter is America's most important export.
